[International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) @IBCA_official]

#Ladakh has approved the establishment of the Snow Leopard and High-Altitude Nature Conservation Society (SHAN), a dedicated institutional mechanism aimed at conserving snow leopards, associated wildlife, alpine flora, wetlands, and other fragile mountain ecosystems through science-based and community-led approaches.

#IBCA warmly welcomes this significant initiative, which reinforces the importance of landscape-level conservation, community stewardship, and sustainable livelihoods in safeguarding the Trans-Himalayan region. Such collaborative efforts will contribute meaningfully to the long-term conservation of the #SnowLeopard and enhance the resilience of high-altitude ecosystems.
